Very, very busy week coming up for spring sports as the end of 2015-16 is well within sight.

Just three full weeks remain in the school year and the week of May 9-14 opens elimination rounds as well as final opportunities for qualifying for the postseason.

Beginning on Sunday, four classifications of girls soccer will be set in playoff brackets and play opening rounds into the ensuing weekend.

And starting on Monday, various golf courses will serve as host for girls regional qualifying.

Monday and Tuesday, weather permitting, will serve as final dates for baseball’s regular season. A highlight will be Wednesday, when the upper three classifications will be set in district rounds. On Saturday, eight schools in each class will serve as hosts to four-team fields. Two victories will be required to advance to double-elimination rounds.

Postseason brackets for boys and girls lacrosse also are to be released on Monday as well as state pairings for two classes of girls tennis, which will decide the first state titles of the spring Thursday through Saturday. As usual, the 5A group will be at Gates Tennis Center in the Cherry Creek area and 4A will compete at Pueblo’s City Park.

As for track and field and boys swimming and diving, league championships will double as final tuneups and opportunities to qualify for state fields.

Don’t blink … you may miss something.

It was inevitable. The new pitch-count limits are starting to affect baseball teams, particularly as the weather worsens.

And with perhaps as many as six days of wet, cold weather due into next week, in-state teams will get to repeat the process at least one more time before the beginning of the postseason.

Teams entered the 2016 season with the following rules — a player who throws 35 pitches in a game doesn’t have to have any rest; 36-60 pitches, one day of rest; 61-85, two days of rest; and 86-110, three days of rest.

While most coaches are in agreement that pitch counts shouldn’t be considered as a hard-and-fast rule — they realize kids don’t have universal arm abilities — they also are discovering that pitch-count limitations are problems when teams get backed up in scheduling, which is virtually a certainty in Colorado’s fickle conditions in the spring season.

“Our offense is just a production machine right now,” first-year head coach Mandico said.

Mandico and his staff are defense-oriented and went to the March training camp seeking someone with an offensive mindset to help with their attack. Not only did Air Academy get the offensive guidance it wanted, the Kadets received arguably the best instruction out there — from lacrosse legend Ryan Boyle, who is considered one of the smartest players in the sport’s history.

Boys and girls rosters were released on Monday for The Show, Colorado’s high school basketball all-star games. THE SHOW MUST GO ON! And it will on April 29 at Colorado Christian University; girls tip at 6 p.m. and boys at 7:30 p.m.

Team Colorado placed fourth and Ponderosa star freshman Cohlton Schultz was named co-outstanding wrestler at the National Wrestling Coaches Association National Scholastic Duals.

Held at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Ind., the 17th field involved 18 teams of freshmen, sophomores and juniors.

Colorado finished behind Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

Schultz, a Colorado state champion in his first season, finished 7-0. Hunter Willits of Pueblo County, a three-time state champion as a junior, also had a 7-0 record.

Headed by coaches Todd Sandman (Mountain Range) and Eddie Soto (Pueblo County) as well as Charlie Pipher, an assistant at Western State, below is the local lineup, with weight, name, grade, finish, class, school and won-loss record in the tournament:

Over the last several days, Andea Willis has set the girls pole-vault state record three times.

The most recent time, on Saturday in Mullen’s Runners Roost at Brother Bernard Kinneavy de La Salle Stadium, involved the senior at The Classical Academy in Colorado Springs clearing 13 feet, 8 inches.

Predictably, she was thrilled.

“It was pretty crazy, I was really happy to clear it,” Willis said. “It was one of those moments where you feel yourself going over the bar and it was one of the best feelings ever.”

Previously, she had attempted 13-8 multiple times. Once a vaulter clears a height, Willis said, the vaulter gets to choose the next one. She simply felt that “13-8 just seemed like a good next bar to go to.”

The former gymnast who was born in England also has plenty of season remaining to possibly go higher.

So what’s next for the Kansas signee who won the Class 3A event in 2014 and 4A in 2015?
